Recently, China's snooker star Liang Wenbo's violent beating of women on the streets of the United Kingdom can be described as intensifying, which not only hurt the hearts of domestic fans, but also caused an indelible and huge impact on Chinese sports.
The incident occurred in July 2021, when Liang Wenbo was filmed beating a woman on the street and did not stop beating him until a woman called the police.
After this incident occurred, it was not immediately revealed until the British Prosecutor's Office also officially pronounced the case recently, and it was learned from the content released by the British Prosecutor's Office that another camera on the street at that time clearly filmed Liang Wenbo dragging the party to the corner of the wall to beat the criminal facts.
The British Prosecutor's Office sentenced Liang Wenbo to violent crimes and fines and community labor, and said the beating of women was shameful and there was absolute zero tolerance for such behavior, and Liang Wenbo confessed to his violence at the hearing without making any rebuttals.
However, for domestic fans, it is very clear that the matter is far from ending so early, because Liang Wenbo's bad incidents not only affected the British snooker but also had a huge impact on China's snooker, and even after the procuratorate's penalty was imposed, the World Taiwan Federation and the China Taiwan Association also made a penalty decision.
World Federation President Jason Ferguson announced the official suspension of all qualifications for Liang Wenbo to participate in snooker competitions, and the ban penalty remains in effect until the matter is not decided, and Liang Wenbo can appeal at any time if he has any objections.
Ferguson: While it's very flippant to suspend a player, it's a violent offense because Ofe Leung's move is the only right decision we should have made at the moment.
Not only the World Federation of Taiwan, the Chinese Billiards Association also made corresponding moves after learning the ins and outs of the incident, according to the latest news released by the official, immediately suspended all qualifications for Liang Wenbo to participate in domestic billiards competitions, and removed Liang Wenbo from the post of deputy director of the British Professional Athletes Committee.
In this way, even Liang Wenbo's appeal will not be able to catch up with the upcoming snooker World Championship qualification match, and Liang Wenbo, who is extremely bad due to the impact of beating women, is likely to be further punished by the British prosecutor's office in the future.
For Liang Wenbo, the price of impulsiveness is huge, although the ban decision does not say when, but if the situation continues to ferment, I am afraid that Liang Wenbo's professional athlete career will suffer a major crisis, and whether he can return to the professional arena is still unknown.
More importantly, Liang Wenbo's indelible impact on China's snooker sport caused by this bad incident is indelible, as an athlete beating women in the streets abroad, this practice is indeed insulting to snooker as a gentleman's sport, and it is also contrary to the original intention of Chinese sports.
